'You Said, Together We Did'

(SACRAMENTO)

UC Davis Health collects valuable input from employees through the Employee Experience Survey (formerly the CommUNITY Feedback Survey) and other parts of our ongoing listening efforts, such as leadership listening tours, I-DARE surveys, and town halls. As a leading academic institution, UC Davis Health analyzes this feedback to identify strengths and areas for improvement, which then inform data-driven action plans.

The items below are highlights among actions taken so far and serve as a reminder that when you share honest feedback, we listen, learn, and take actions that improve the workplace and advance our missions—together.

Visit the Employee Experience Survey webpage for resources to make positive changes within your teams.

Share your experience as an employee, manager or team since the release of the survey results. Learn more here.
